Morgan Otter Saves the Sea Turtles [Paperback]

Eight-year-old Morgan Otter moves from her home in the hot Arizona desert to damp, green Georgia when her father gets a new job. She attends a day camp at the Nature Center where she meets new friends and learns about the animals of the Lowcountry, including endangered sea turtles. As Morgan learns about the sea turtles, she vows to become a sea turtle superhero with her new friend, Claire. The dynamic duo help protect baby sea turtles at the beach and make sure they make it to the ocean unharmed.

Morgan Otter has just moved to the new city of Wilmington Island, Georgia, far from her hometown of Phoenix, Arizona. Missing her best friend, eight-year-old Morgan is very lonely in her new home, and fears she'll never make new friends before school starts. Will she ever love this new place as much as she loved Arizona?

Join Morgan as she spends her summer immersed in a nature camp where she meets new friends, learns about the Lowcountry habitat and, best of all, how to become a Sea Turtle Superhero!?

Full of rich descriptions and fun facts, readers will learn, alongside Morgan and her friends, the wonders of the Lowcountry, the importance of conservation, and how even a small act can help make the world a better place.
